- painful; grievous
Meaning
Nike’s hymn places painful faction alongside opposing battles at XXXIII.3. The adjective registers the suffering created by conflict, not a painful sensation experienced by the goddess. That human cost gives substance to the request that victory remove the conditions of strife.
